Sool Bar Week

Sorry for my long leave of absence, but I’m currently enjoying myself far too much on my holidays, and have had no time to share about all the lovely things I have been eating and drinking. However I found out about an amazing boozy event happening in Seoul, and I couldn’t resist sharing even though I’m not going to be there to attend it. The event, Sool Bar Week, kicks off tomorrow. There are dozens of different alcohol related events happening between Monday, September 11th & Sunday, September 17th at a whole host of Seoul Bars.

There are so many different talks, guest bartenders, and masterclass events going on it would take me a year to list them all, so please check the website for the full list of events. Sadly I’m still away, but if I was in town I would definitely be at Tequila – Spirit of Mexico at Vatos on Wednesday from 7pm – 10pm. This experience includes an artisanal tequila tasting, with special antojitos (small bites), and a live mariachi band flown in from Mexico. Tickets are still available and cost only 40,000 won, see the facebook page to get yours.

Another foodie event that I’m sad to be missing is the wild dining experience by La Marmite and Dandy Pink. The Dinner will be held at La Marmite Seoul on the 14th, 15th and 16th of September. It’s a four course set dinner with cocktail pairing for 85,000 a person. See the event’s facebook for full menu or to book your spot.

Although none of us don’t need an excuse to have a libation or two, it’s nice to have one. There will be guest bar tending events at some of my favourite bars such as Mix & Malt and Flower Gin, as well as at many other spots throughout the city. See the Sool Bar Week schedule here for more details.
